[PD-dev] jack and pd question

[vanDongen/Gilcher]

I just looked at the code, if I unstand it correctly you create a k_jackd~ 
object for the clients. And then you can make pd patches connecting them.
This is a little bitt different from what I have.
I have 2 objects: 
jack-ports that can be used to query available port on the running jack-graph 
using regular expressions.
jack-connect that can query,toggle,make or break a connection between two 
ports. 
The main advantage is that you don't need to recompile all your audio apps.
Anyway having ten different solutions to the same small problem is the 
linux/unix way :)
